financez.

of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in kSanitary Water- Closets, of which I do declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying 19 drawing, forming partl of this specification.

The present invention has for its object to provide improved means whereby there will be avoided vthe danger of contagion incident `to the use by many persons of the saine closets.

To this end the invention consists in the features of novelty hereinafter described, illustrated inthe accompanying drawing and particularly defined in the claims at 20 the end of this specification.

Figure l is a plan View showing my linvention applied to a water closet bowl of familiar form. Fig. 2 is a viewjin side elevation.

.'25 In the drawing, I have only of a. closet bowl A vas the bowlforms no part of the invention, which may be :ap-

. plied to any Ysuitable' or familiar type. of#

bowl.l Ilo the 'rear upper surface of .the

bowl Aare fixed the 'standards B, the'sock-j ets oii` whichreceive the' ends ofthe pivot rod Cgwhereby the *seat of the closet may be' vpivot-ally supported. As Shown, the' rod C passes" through the'lugs (l. that project rear. l wardlyjlfromfthe metal supporting-bar D i referably formed integral therebar D-,is of approximately semi-'1,

and far l circular]v shape and itsl ends set within recesses formed in the underside of the seat 40 -members.E which raresecurely held upon theV bar D'fby screws d. "Beneath the-bar D and .on-[top of the bowl 'A aremounted'fthe plates D that carry the rubber buifersy d `Whereon the seat members E will rest when in position for use, these plates D being held in place by the stemsfofl the standards B that. pass through them. 'The outer ends of the seat members E may alsotbe provided with vrubber buffers e to contact with the front portion of the bowl rim.

As shown, eachv of thel seat members E is formed from a straight fiat bar of wood, theupper. 'and inner portions of which are shaped to conduce to the comfort of the u ser. The seat members E are, preferably,

' diagonally disposed with respect to each Specification of Letters Patent.

other, their innerends being more widely separated than their outer ends.

Oppositethe `rear end ofeach of the seat members E isfplaceda paper receptacle F. Preferably, each of the paper receptacles F is of a shape and size adopting it to hold a roll of' toilet paper,` and the discharge orifice of each paper receptacle is at right angles to the seatI member E at the rear of which it is mounted and approximately on a line with the upper surface of such member. At the discharge orifice of each paper receptacle F there is asupporting platel f and, above this plate, a cutting strip or blade j" whereby the sections of paper may be severed from the roll. In -order to enable the end of the paper to be readily advanced after a section of' the paper has been torn away, I form each cutting blade or strip f with an open space` f2 through which the paperniay be reached-by the finger and moved beyondthevfront edge of the cut-ting blade' or strip-y when the` stri of paper can be Apulled out tol-the Vrequire extent.

From they foregoing description` it will be lseenthatwlienitheicloset is'tobe used the; stripsgofpap (indicated in dotted linesatjg) lwiljlbe drawn outward;- sufiittooverlfl ach of'these'atmem- V, dfthiis'pretectj. the skin of the occup'ant"l ffni4 contact therewith. After the closet' halslfbeenused the'strips 'of paper coveringxtheseat'members E can be readily severedrbytheicutting blades f. By `forming:the seat members E of. straightfbars of wood of substantially uniform widtlrand,diagonally disposed with re'spectfjto'feaeh. other, strength and economy ofconstructiigareinsured and by attach- `ing the-seatmembersf to the ends of the "bar D, as shown',`these members are most securely supported 1.1;"

"The employment findividual paper re` ceptacles and theird4 rangement at the rear ends of the seat' members E enables these members to be effectively covered by the 'paper 1n the most economical manner, since no more paper is used than is actually required to cover the upper surfaces of the seat members. So also the plate f and the cutting blade f', arranged as they are at right angles to the seat members and in close proximity to the upper surfaces thereof, securely retain the strips of paper in position upon the seat members. Another advantage incident to the employment of the individual paperv'receptacles arranged as shown is that they enable the sea't torbe lifted Without danger of the receptacles con-- tacting with t-he central rear portion of the closet bowl or its fittings.

It is obvious that the details of construction above set forthmay be varied Without departure from the scope of the invention and that features of the invention may b'e employed Without its adoption' as. an en,- tirety. Y

Having thus describedvmy invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination withfa water closet:

seat, comprising side members separatedfat. their front ends, of individual paper reeep tacles one mounted at 'the rear of each of said side members and having an opening through which paper mayy be drawn out in line with -said side members.

Vsaid side members and having an opening extending at rightv angles to said sidemembers through' which opening p aper may be drawn out in line with said side members.
